Who we are
Who does the work
across Coogee
Licensed plumbers who work this stretch of the eastern beaches week in and week out, and who will tell you which system a fixture drains into rather than assuming it is the right one.
Licensed plumbers who work this stretch of the eastern beaches week in and week out, and who will tell you which system a fixture drains into rather than assuming it is the right one.
Call and a plumber picks up. There is no dispatcher in the middle taking notes for whoever has a gap, and no answering service in a different state.
The thing we care about more than most is what a fixture is actually connected to. There are two separate systems under these streets, one of them discharges untreated to the nearest waterway, and a fixture plumbed into the wrong one drains perfectly and tells nobody. In a suburb where people swim, that is worth an afternoon.
The price is agreed before anything starts, the licence number and ABN are on the quote, and the workmanship carries a lifetime warranty in writing.
NSW Plumbing Licence 368473C, verifiable on the Fair Trading public register. Unlicensed plumbing is illegal in NSW and voids a home insurance claim, so ask anyone for a number before work starts.
Fully insured, work carried out to the Australian Standards, and a written lifetime workmanship warranty. Gas work carries a Certificate of Compliance as a matter of course.
Our work is reviewed publicly, and we would rather you read those than take anything on this page at face value.
This is a working plumbing business rather than a brand with subcontractors behind it. The person who prices the job is the person who turns up to do it.
The habit that matters here is proving things instead of assuming them. A fixture that drains is not the same as a fixture that drains into the right place, and the only difference between those two is whether anybody bothered to check.
“Everything draining is not the same as everything being right. One of those you can see from the kitchen. The other takes a dye test.”
Two separate systems run under these streets. The sewer takes wastewater away to be treated. Stormwater takes rainwater, untreated, to the nearest waterway. A great deal of what we do here comes back to which of those a fixture belongs to.
A fixture plumbed into the wrong system drains perfectly. No smell, no backup, nothing slow. There is nothing to notice from inside the house.
A second bathroom, a relocated laundry, a granny flat or a new downpipe. An existing line takes the flow and nobody proves what it belongs to.
Colour goes in at the fixture and we watch where it comes out. It is cheap, it is conclusive, and almost nobody has one done.
The braided connector under a sink is a wearing part with roughly a five year life, and it causes more internal water damage than anything else we attend.
A healthy tank still empties if the whole household wants hot water inside the same forty minutes. Recovery rate decides that, not the litres on the label.
Sydney water is soft. A storage tank that has given up here has lost its sacrificial anode or an element.
Cameras and dye tests, because draining and draining correctly are two different things.
Agreed before we start and unchanged unless you approve a revision in writing.
Number and ABN on every quote, so you can check us before you commit rather than after.
Open 24 hours, 7 days, with nothing added for nights, weekends or public holidays.
